Over deze cursus
Focus is on qualitative data as can be obtained from observation of behaviour in naturalistic and laboratory settings. After some theory introduction, students in small groups will perform and report three Research Projects using qualitative data.
Leerresultaten
Students will learn to design and report research based on qualitative data. Quantitative data are numerical, like scores on a task or measurement instruments. These data can be analysed using statistical summaries and graphs and are typically objective. Qualitative data are descriptive, for example answers to open interview questions or detailed records of observations. Such data is more difficult to analyse and interpretation can be subjective. For example, it may not be obvious how to get and analyse data from behaviour of drivers in difficult traffic situations, or from behaviour known as non-verbal communication between subjects in a laboratory experiment.
